Since 1840 the Mother House was in Belley (France), Brother Gabriel, Founder of the Congregation, lived in it until 1864. After his death it continued being General House.
In 1903 the General House is transferred to Villa Brea (Italy) because of the expulsion of the Religious Congregations in France.
In 1939, at the beginning of the hostilities of the II World War, the General Administration returns again to Belley.
On 1st January, 1970, the General Administration is moved from Belley to Rome, initially in a rented house. From 1972, it is established in an own house, in Frederic Torre Street, no. 25.
